Juventus captain Chiellini targets coaching future: But I must study

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini admits he'd like to manage after he retires.

However, Chiellini isn't ruling out playing on next season.

He told La Stampa: “As long as you are a footballer, you are focused only on that. And until today in my head I have always been a 100% footballer, when you do this job it can only be like that.

"Certainly in the future I would like to have a managerial path, in which to enhance the wealth of experience I have gained over the years and make it available in a new context.

“I would like to take care of what surrounds the pitch, but it goes beyond that. But first I would have a lot to study. I know the sport well, but it is not enough to do well as a manager.

"About Continassa I know everything, even where there are cobwebs. But what happens in the office I have a superficial idea. The experience I'm having with Sport Horizon helps me, but you can't improvise it."
